My last day in Lisbon I intended to visit the castle and Alfama, the only part of Lisbon not destroyed in the 1755 earthquake. I hopped on the tram to save time. And missed the stop. I assumed- wrongly- that a giant castle would be easy to spot. No problem though, I'd just ride the tram back around. Then they kicked us all off on the far side of the city. In the rain. At that point I decided to bag Alfama and the castle and head over to Belem.
In Belem I found a monastery that looked like a fairytale castle.
Across the street from the Monastery was a park with several fountains.
Then through a tunnel that passed under a main road and railroad tracks to the waterfront.
Where I found another castle
Then back to the city center just at that magic hour when the sky looks like this and the town is lit up...
